Purification and Characterization of an Arene cis-Dihydrodiol Dehydrogenase Endowed with Broad Substrate Specificity toward Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Dihydrodiols

Résumé

Initial reactions involved in the bacterial degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) include a ring-dihydroxylation catalyzed by a dioxygenase and a subsequent oxidation of the dihydrodiol products by a dehydrogenase. In this study, the dihydrodiol dehydrogenase from the PAH-degrading Sphingomonas strain CHY-1 has been characterized. The bphB gene encoding PAH dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (PDDH) was cloned and overexpressed as a His-tagged protein. The recombinant protein was purified as a homotetramer with an apparent Mr of 110,000. PDDH oxidized the cis-dihydrodiols derived from biphenyl and eight polycyclic hydrocarbons, including chrysene, benz[a]anthracene, and benzo[a]pyene, to corresponding catechols. Remarkably, the enzyme oxidized pyrene 4,5-dihydrodiol, whereas pyrene is not metabolized by strain CHY-1. The PAH catechols produced by PDDH rapidly auto-oxidized in air but were regenerated upon reaction of the o-quinones formed with NADH. Kinetic analyses performed under anoxic conditions revealed that the enzyme efficiently utilized two- to four-ring dihydrodiols, with Km values in the range of 1.4 to 7.1 µM, and exhibited a much higher Michaelis constant for NAD+ (Km of 160 µM). At pH 7.0, the specificity constant ranged from (1.3 ± 0.1) x 106 M–1 s–1 with benz[a]anthracene 1,2-dihydrodiol to (20.0 ± 0.8) x 106 M–1 s–1 with naphthalene 1,2-dihydrodiol. The catalytic activity of the enzyme was 13-fold higher at pH 9.5. PDDH was subjected to inhibition by NADH and by 3,4-dihydroxyphenanthrene, and the inhibition patterns suggested that the mechanism of the reaction was ordered Bi Bi. The regulation of PDDH activity appears as a means to prevent the accumulation of PAH catechols in bacterial cells.
